From John Morley to G. H. Darwin 7 September 1875

My dear Darwin,

I am half afraid that my readers—who seem to remember some of the most cantankerous souls in Christendom in [this], judging from my correspondence—would grumble if I printed anything which had already been ten days before the world.  They have no right to lay down such a rule, but those who live to please, like us poor writers, must please to live. It is a pity, because the Note is interesting, after the original paper, but i can't help myself.

I hope you will send me something that I can print all to myself, before very long.

Meanwhile, I hope also that you are better than you were. If you are with your brother, please remember me to him. With a thousand [thanks] for your letter, and your considerateness in writing it,

Your's very sincerely, | John Morley.

I am really at Ramsgate, but my official address is safest.
